Empirical aspects of an emerging agricultural pesticide contaminant retention on two sub-Saharan soils

Bamidele Olu-Owolabi et al.

Summary: Soils are complex mixtures with unique properties that affect the sorption process of contaminants. This study investigated the sorption of ivermectin in two soil types and found that factors such as soil type, solution pH, ivermectin concentration, and temperature influenced the sorption process. The results also showed that the sorption of ivermectin occurred mainly on the soil surfaces and within the soil pores or phases.

Intensity of environmental regulation and environmentally biased technology in the employment market

Malin Song et al.

Summary: This study extends Acemoglu's biased technological progress theory and measures environmentally biased technological progress using data envelopment analysis to analyze the impact of environmental regulations on labor supply and demand. Progress in environmentally biased technology can promote the supply and demand of regional labor force, but inconsistent development with economic growth may have a negative impact on regional labor demand. Environmental regulation has a significant negative impact on labor demand, but its self-adjusting mechanism reignites labor demand.

Global value chains, technological progress, and environmental pollution: Inequality towards developing countries

Shuhong Wang et al.

Summary: The study aims to achieve the dual effects of technological progress and energy conservation and emission reduction in developing countries' participation in global value chains through research on GVC, technological progress, and environmental pollution. The research findings suggest the existence of a value chain threshold in developing countries, where technological progress may lead to an increase in pollution below the threshold but can reduce emissions above it. These results provide a theoretical basis and practical suggestions for developing countries to realize green development while participating in globalized value chains.

The carbon dioxide neutralizing effect of energy innovation on international tourism in EU-5 countries under the prism of the EKC hypothesis

Daniel Balsalobre-Lorente et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of economic growth, international tourism, clean energy promotion, and technological innovation on carbon dioxide emissions in the context of five European Union nations from 1990 to 2015. It finds an inverted-U-shaped relationship between economic growth and carbon dioxide emissions, while higher foreign direct investment inflows may lead to increased carbon dioxide emissions.

Assessing the impacts of ageing and natural resource extraction on carbon emissions: A proposed policy framework for European economies

Daniel Balsalobre-Lorente et al.

Summary: European nations are facing challenges in climate action and energy security due to aging population and globalization. The study suggests a reorientation of existing policy frameworks to reduce carbon emissions by exploring the impact of natural resource extraction and age dependence. The empirical results show an inverted U-shaped relationship between carbon emissions, natural resource extraction, globalization index, economic growth, and aging population, in line with the Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis. A multi-faceted Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) framework has been designed based on the findings, evaluating SDG 7, SDG 13, and SDG 8, as well as suggesting a way to assess several related SDGs.

Umer Shahzad et al.

Summary: The study examines the dynamic interactions between coal energy consumption, geothermal energy consumption, industry value added, and carbon emissions in the Philippines. Results show a bidirectional link between geothermal energy and aggregate income, with industry value added driving coal consumption, and geothermal and coal having unexpected impacts on carbon pollution. The findings emphasize the need to further deploy geothermal energies and improve efficiency in the geothermal industry to meet increasing power demand.

Development of an SBM-ML model for the measurement of green total factor productivity: The case of pearl river delta urban agglomeration

Ye Li et al.

Summary: The rapid economic development in China has negatively impacted the ecosystem. In the affluent and innovative Pearl River Delta Urban Agglomeration, balancing economic development and environmental protection is crucial for local green development. By studying the Green Total Factor Productivity (GTFP) of the PRDUA, including resources and environmental factors, it was found that GTFP of all cities in the region increased in a wave-like trend over time, with Shenzhen consistently at the top. Furthermore, the GTFP disparity between cities in PRDUA has been narrowing over time.
